The Chattrix chairlift replacement is part of a renovation and modernization program run by the ski area of ​​Saint-Gervais. The latter is the main gateway to the ski area called Evasion Mont Blanc in the Saint-Nicolas de Véroce sector. Built in 1982, this non-detachable two-seater chairlift was shouting for renewal. Everything emerged as planned, this winter 2019-2020 will be replaced by a 6-seater detachable chairlift.

Beyond the fact of replacing an old chairlift, the ski area of ​​Saint-Gervais has given it a second life thanks to an unusual sale and, more importantly, they have done a good deed, showing great generosity.

The Saint-Gervais resort has surfed the wave of Vintage decoration by proposing the sale of the chairs of the old Chattrix fixed-chair chairlift, located in the ski area adjacent to Saint-Nicolas de Véroce.
